We’re building out a new shop space. It’s in the same space that Coat (our paint shop) has been in for the last three years. This will be …scratching my head… my 5th shop. The evolution; the improvement that can only come from experience is something that I get very excited about. five or ten years ago, I had no idea about layout, process, creating the kind of space that I want to welcome our visitors into. Being able to take what we’ve done with the space before and giving ourselves a chance to do it better. It’s, well, deeply satisfying.

I asked Eric (Coat’s head painter) if he had any concerns. His response: “It’s not nearly janky enough”. I interpret that as us heading in the right direction (smile)
